The Obama administration will ask Congress for more than $2 billion Tuesday to address the urgent humanitarian crisis along the U.S. border with Mexico.

In the past nine months, more than 50,000 children and teenagers have crossed that border illegally on their own, most from Central America. By law, the administration can’t deport those young people until they have an immigration hearing — a process that can take years.

President Obama is asking lawmakers for additional money to speed up the process, but also to help warehouse the children while they’re awaiting deportation.

The White House budget request comes as Obama is preparing to travel to Texas this week. He’s not expected to visit the Rio Grande Valley, where most of the Central American children are entering the country. But White House spokesman Josh Earnest says Obama already knows what’s happening there.
